World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.ABSTRACT Bengaluru, a primary metropolitan centre in India, is currently grappling with the dual crises of urban flooding and severe groundwater depletion. These challenges are driven by rapid urbanization, which has seen built‐up areas increase from 42% to 86% over two decades, resulting in a dramatic loss of vegetation and wetlands.

Collaboration in Cross‐Jurisdictional Water Quality Governance: A Novel Framework and Case Study
World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.ABSTRACT Collaborative governance is often employed to address the inherent complexity of surface water quality governance and provides a structure for cooperation across federal, tribal, state, and local boundaries. However, although guidance exists for assessing specific dimensions of collaborative governance, tools to comprehensively evaluate the ...

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.ABSTRACT In Ghana, the government has initiated a reform in rural water management to shift away from community‐based management (CBM) to state management, but research assessing the reform is still insufficient. This study aims to critically evaluate the impact of the reform in addressing rural water challenges.

Organ‐specific ozone and nitrogen legacies strengthen substrate control over litter decomposition
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2548-2559, August 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Elevated tropospheric ozone (O3) and nitrogen (N) deposition are concurrent atmospheric changes that strongly influence terrestrial carbon cycling, yet their combined effects on below‐ground decomposition remain poorly understood.

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2617-2627, August 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Root activity creates unique microbial hotspots in the rhizosphere by influencing the metabolic activities of surrounding soil microorganisms, profoundly regulating the dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC). However, how root economic strategies affect the formation and

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.Ectomycorrhizal roots of Pinus armandii release more carboxylates than non‐mycorrhizal root segments, mobilizing Al‐bound inorganic P. Under the lowest available P conditions, they also secrete more phosphatase, promoting the mineralization of Al‐bound organic P.

Perceived costs as drivers of wildlife management preferences in rural Tanzanian communities
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract Effectively managing human–wildlife interactions is crucial for fostering coexistence on shared landscapes. Management options are most effective when aligned with the preferences of people directly affected by wildlife, yet little is known about how socioecological factors influence these preferences.

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract Knowledge of species distributions is essential for informing policies on nature conservation and restoration. However, updating them on a regular basis and doing so in a harmonized manner at the international level is difficult. The European Bird Census Council integrated national monitoring data covering 5 years to update farmland bird ...

Informal supply chains of wild meat from rural Amazonia and food security in an urban center
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract Iquitos, the most populated city in the Peruvian Amazon, is a hub in the regional supply chain of wild meat and supplies urban consumers. Studies on wild meat consumption have focused primarily on markets, limiting the scope of species considered to those that are economically valuable and potential inferences from those data.

Assessing differences among elasmobranch nurseries to aid conservation based on a genomics framework
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract Elasmobranch nurseries often differ in environmental conditions, demographics, and use patterns. These differences affect the distribution of genetic variation among nurseries. However, conservation and management strategies often fail to account for such differences because they are difficult to characterize.
